    Undergrad Question about bullet fired from gun.

    And you also have to realize that due to recoil, the bullet will have a slightly higher trajectory.

    Graduate Calculating Bounce Equations for 3D Physics Simulations

    Would it exhibit the same reflective properties of light? And what about edge contact?

    Graduate Calculating Bounce Equations for 3D Physics Simulations

    Finding the "bounce equation" Due to reasons forementioned, I am unable to access the necessary data required to avoid the release of the following information: I am making a 3d physics simulation. What are the equations for bounce based on the velocity and elasticity of a sphere when it...

    Undergrad How powerful are Superman's punches?

    When watching films and other multimedia entertainment, inconsistencies and glitches bother me, so I am very happy helping you with this. Firstly, I would like to point out that beings of the Krypton are made of material not found in the known universe so this greatly complicates things. Lets...

    Undergrad Understanding Kinetic Friction: Solving Problems in 3D Physics Simulations

    Yeah yeah I'm not in school anymore though and the library's a long walk...google doesn't really count...

    High School Did Einstein guess the time-dilation equation?

    Cool! When I get some energy I'll give it a try.

    Undergrad Understanding Kinetic Friction: Solving Problems in 3D Physics Simulations

    Can't, I talked with him last at a science convention overseas.

    Undergrad Understanding Kinetic Friction: Solving Problems in 3D Physics Simulations

    So your saying that professor I mentioned was incorrect? At least this makes coding easier. By the way, I am making rolling sphere physics.

    High School Did Einstein guess the time-dilation equation?

    Did Einstein "guess" the time-dilation equation? I can't find anything on the net, but it seems to me that Einstein would have had to "guess" the time dilation into existence. Furthermore, supposed "proofs" could be hoaxes.

    Undergrad Understanding Kinetic Friction: Solving Problems in 3D Physics Simulations

    I am trying to create a 3d physics simulation and the first "problem" I have encountered is implementing realistic friction. Now, I was told by some professor that the faster an object is traveling the less friction that it has, however, I have not been able to find the appropriate equation/s on...

    Simulating Quantum Entanglement Experiments

    In theory you could use an ultra fine audio input device, and, on a windy day, base the random seed on the dynamic audio input.

    Need physics simulation software

    Similar to Interactive Physics 2005 but "better". I never said I would purchase/download an unlicensed copy so mods there is no need to delete this topic.

    Graduate What is the Locality Principle in Quantum Mechanics?

    But isn't that impossible? Gravity has an infinite reach, if my teachings have been correct...

    Undergrad Can you actually measure an object's velocity?

    True, but it sounded good at the moment so I posted. :D

    Undergrad Can you actually measure an object's velocity?

    Admittedly, I did not notice. However, there still is the problem that if over 50% of the universe can not be converted into a vacuum then the speed of light is not officially a constant.
